My buyer-client had outgrown the one bedroom condo and was in search of a hassle free home. A private garage where she could start and end the day workday. A walkable neighborhood where she could stroll to dinner when she was too tired to make elaborate plans. A spacious no-maintenance home where there was room to grow. She found that and more at Bozzuto's Towson Green.

If you're following real estate news this Spring you're aware that the Baltimore metropolitan region is having an true inventory shortage. Options are not as plentiful as my clients would hope. Multiple offers are commonplace, a phenomenon that began last summer. If you'd like to avoid the inventory shortage and associated pitfalls that can come with home inspections, you may be a good candidate for purchasing new construction. Baltimore's Towson Green has several homes available for immediate delivery as well as a solid offering of pre-construction options for you to customize to your heart's desire.

The first thing you notice about Towson Green is that the facades are colorful. The development team has done a nice job mixing materials to produce a layered contemporary look. On average these homes measure between 1600 and 2400 square feet with 9 foot ceilings throughout. Granite counters and stainless steel energy star rated appliances are standard. Closets are plentiful and huge. My client selected a mix of handsome dark hardwood floors and sophisticated neutral carpeting.

The Towson Green community is a good example of urban infill development. 10-20 years ago you'd expect to find this community on the outskirts of town. In this case, the developer has worked with the city to create beautiful residences in the heart of the city-center as a means of revitalizing the downtown area. As this picture shows, you are walking distance to the Towson library, Towson University, and Towson Town Center which is Baltimore's premiere shopping mall. Even better, more development is on the horizon as Baltimore County works to make Towson a true 21st century hub for work + play.

My client purchased a brick-front townhome on. This property has 3 bedrooms which includes a loft-style grand bedroom on the top floor that features a roof deck. There is a fourth bedroom on the ground floor that is well suited as a home office or media room. This home has three full bathrooms and a powder room on the main entertaining level for guests. There is a two car garage off the back of the property.

A beautiful home like this will cost between $412,000 - $445,000 as estimated by the sales office. Prices for Towson Green residences begin in the mid 300's. A benefit to purchasing new construction is that you'll receive a 10 year phase-in tax abatement and nearly hassle-free ownership from the extensive warranties and HOA community maintenance. The HOA fee is currently less than $100 per month. Keep in mind that you are getting a serious amount of neighborhood amenities at this price. This community is all about location, location, location.

Baltimore's Towson Green was a winner with my client. If you're ready for a modern home that is located in the heart of it all this community is well worth the consideration. Please keep in mind if you are working with an agent, your agent will need to register you prior to your first visit. Working with your own agent comes at no additional cost to you.
